I took my 2006 VW Jetta TDI in for service and noted that it would vibrate when you come to a complete stop. A shake that you can feel throughout the entire car (with the clutch in or out).
The tech rode with me and suggested the EGR valve might be malfunctioning causing the car to ride rough (thus the shake). They checked the valve, found it to be faulty, and replaced it at no expense to me (thank you warranty).
I'm not so sure it was the EGR valve as the shake is back. Granted it isn't there all the time, but it is back. When I have traveled on the interstate (70-75 mph) it doesn't seem to be present. But once I do some town driving it seems to show up. If I come in on the highway (55-65 mph) it will vary. Is there something with the manual transmission diesel that causes it to shake like that? Any suggestions?
